    Apparently not. What's the purpose of the thread? I know you to be a pretty smart dude yourself.

    The purpose is to show dense fogs such as yourself that education, economic status or anything else doesn't matter for other races at times around white racists who feel uncomfortable with anyone other than whites themselves. 

    Blacks do have a higher proportion of crime than whites but even Asians get police called on them just for not looking like they dont belong to a particular neighborhood despite having a crime rate much lower than whites.

    You know where Stanco lives?  What does the article say about his state?  Why are you comfortable being disingenuous by discussing “red states” and not Texas?

    1) I never said Texas

    2) Texas contributes less than Cali and takes more than Cali and hence a welfare state in comparison. i.e. Cali subsidizes Texas to an extent.

    Do you argue with that?

    I take it you live in California. What part of state taxes go to subsidizing the rest of the nation?

    My point is, don't be a retard and confuse surplus with debt and everything is fine because the television told you so. You know, like Gil did. He thinks California is in the black.

    I don't live in CA, but I'm well aware that its the federal taxes paid by the Californians that subsidize freeloaders in flyover states such as the one you live in. If all states kept their funds to themselves, CA would be just fine whereas welfare states like the one you live in would be under water. 

    Don't be an intentional retard.

    Yes and no. 

    The parents (or in most cases parent) love the shit out of their kids. But when they aren't around the street tends to raise them. There are a shit ton of problems with the inner city but to assume that most parents don't love their kids is a really bad take. 

     

    You make it sound like poverty is an uniquely American trait. it isn't. 

    Also, I didn't say that they don't love their kids. They just don't give a shit about their kid's education, but that might have something to do with their own upbringing. But pouring more money into this still isn't going to solve it.

    Show me a good poor public school district.  Not a single school,  but an entire school district.  Don’t Stand and Deliver it as a singular example,  but show the pre-K, elementary, and middle school have good scores with 75%+ free lunch statistics, as well as the unique magnet program.   Show me Eanes ISD, but with a 1/2 the funding. 

    I’ll wait. 

    The problem isn't that enough money isn't spent on them, its that the parents do not give a fuck about their own kids.

    Even with twice the amount of money poured into those schools would mean nothing if nobody cares once those kids leave school.

    Prove how it keeps them out of criminals' hands and you might have a point. 

     

    Insult my intelligence all you want, but none of you fuckers can prove additional restrictions shut down the bad guys. 

    Whoa, calm down. Sounds like you aren't that far from those "headcases". 

     

    We are not giving restrictions enough chances. What we are doing with restrictions is difficult to impose. Gun safe zones in this county and then the wild west in the next isn't going to cut it. There is no quarantine or account of people entering and leaving the county with and without weapons. Ban guns completely throughout the US with mandatory minimums should help somewhat. But what's really going to help is the free market. We already have gun manufacturers struggling despite high sales, with losing economies of scale they will struggle further consolidating into one or two companies who will hike up the price.

     

    Banning them completely will also artificially inflate its price in thousands in the black market which will keep it off of the hands of moronic kids and gang bangers low on the totem pole.The ones that can afford them, the successful ones that are able to conjure up a few thousand dollars in one go already know the value of non violence thereby helping eliminate gun violence to substantial level.

    You really want gun violence to die down? Let free market do its work after imposing the correct regulations.

    They both have limits.  I did not argue what you are proposing in your post.

     

    I am saying there is no need for further restriction to achieve a safer society.  Guns are not the problem.  People are.

    We have an aversion to accountability...so let's go after the possession of firearms by (otherwise) law-abiding citizens.

     

    Let's do everything else but actually address the issue-  irresponsible human behavior.

    OK, why don't you share what nugget of an idea(other than banning guns) you have to ensure responsible behavior in a country of 300 million people?

    Because restricting the liberty of law abiding citizens doesn't make us safer.  That's the fallacy in all of this.

     

    Headcases and psychopaths don't give a fuck what the law says, so why would we attempt to affect their behavior with tighter controls on firearms?

     

    Why not address the behavior/ human condition, not the fucking size of a magazine?  Again, because it is not about making our society safer( LOFL)  it is about imposing our political will upon others.

     

    This isn't about political will, no atom bombs, no nuclear holocaust by these headcases. No guns?....follow the thought.

    Please point out which amendment guarantees the right to a dinner knife on an airplane.

    Like many many many others have pointed out before that we have a right to free speech but if you scream bomb at an airport you are going to get arrested for it. 

    Common sense should prevail but muh guns crowd seem to lack it. 

    Constitution isn't some infallible document, it was framed by humans and hence was the product of its times. It is outdated at this point with regards to the 2nd amendment.

    *starts a thread politicizing the death of a child*

    GOD DAMN LIBERALS POLITICIZING THE DEATHS OF CHILDREN!

    I guess politicizing is what got us TSA and no knives on the plane? Or was it a genuine concern for safety of fellow citizens?

    This isn't about liberals or gun nuts, its about common sense. 

    GOD DAMN dumbasses.

    So we're about to get three big weeks of earning reports.  Where we going from here fellas?  Assume that twitter doesn't exist in your response.

     

    There are going to be strong revenues on top of margin expansions due to the stimulus which will include buybacks for banks and tech sector. Those two form 40% of the S&P 500 so unless Trump is Trump, the market should go up.
